About This Home

As of June 2020

Entirely renovated and expanded by its award-winning architect owner, this Princeton Ridge Colonial is the consummate entertaining house: elegant, light-drenched, and beautifully designed using only the finest materials and craftsmanship. Huge show-stopping chef s kitchen features Amish-made tiger maple cabinets, 100 square feet of granite countertops, and top of the line Sub Zero and Miele appliances. Enjoy the view of the limestone fountain from the octagonal breakfast room. Bespoke bookcases outfit both the family room and a fireside library. Gather around the fireplace or cleverly hidden t.v. in the expansive living room, whose party-perfect flow leads to the large terrace. The soul-soothing back yard is framed by gracious oaks and sycamores, bluestone pathways winding through naturalized gardens, and a magazine-worthy gardening shed. A huge circular window captures the stunning view in the master suite - simply spectacular with its custom closets, a gym, deck, and connecting home office. A pair of bedrooms share a pretty hall bath and included are plans for easily creating another bedroom suite. An endless list of amenities includes a heated 2+ car garage with two vehicle-charging outlets and an attached mudroom/catering kitchen!
